Your Tax Dollars at Work (Katrina Recovery Edition)

*** begin quote ***

This one will make your blood boil.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the government providing temporary housing for thousands of storm victims. Some wound up in those infamous FEMA trailers; others found loding in hotels and motels along the coast.

More than three years later, some of those left homeless by the disaster are still living in hotels–on the taxpayer’s dime–and show little interest in leaving their comfortable accommodations.

Andrea Ramey, a reporter for WPMI-TV, the NBC affiliate in Mobile, Alabama, has been investigating these “extended stays”– which also come with free meals. Here’s a portion of what she discovered:

It’s been three years since Katrina and the relief is still flowing, with hundreds of families in Mississippi receiving all the necessities of life, all on your dime. We wanted to know how long the government intended to pay for this public assistance. So five months ago, we began to investigate at the Quality Inn in Biloxi. It’s at that hotel where three years later, victims of Hurricane Katrina still receive free housing and three meals a day, giving some little motivation to get back on their feet.

*** end quote ***

This is what’s wrong with socialism. I don’t care if it is Republican “compassionate conservatism” or Democratic “helping hand up”. Both imprision people by trapping them into complacency and lethargy.

ADMINISTRIVIA: “Drive by commenting”

Friday, October 31, 2008

Just for the record, not that “drive by commenters” read anything, you’re just wasting your time leaving comments here with fake email addresses. I enjoy the comments. Lengthen this, prolong that, gain weight: ll amuse me. Lose weight: makes me sad. I really do enjoy the comments. It’s probably the one aspect of my life where I get “true feedback”. That being said, putting in a phony email address will get you comment marked as “spam” as soon as the “Thank you for your comment” message bounces. Some are dead giveaways by the website they seek to promote either with urls within the comment or in the identity section. Just wasting time and electrons.

So please comment. I don’t use the email address for anything but one message to confirm it’s validity. But I was thinking of a charity fund for FOWG bloggers making less that 250k!

rofl!

POTUS08: O IS really a Marxist!

Obama Bombshell Redistribution of Wealth Audio Uncovered

Wow! Here’s a bombshell. It exposes that the man is a Marxist Socialist. Hearing his words, he, in Clintonesque stype, parses around it. Never letting anyone know what his codewords mean. Hold on to your wallet if he gets elected!

RANT: It’s not a “financial crisis”; it’s a moral crisis!

Glenn Beck: What happened?

October 6, 2008 – 13:01 ET
Glenn’s letter to his family explaining how we got into this economic crisis…
Yes, another email letter from your crazy brother. You raised a lot of questions in your last email and I am going to try to answer all of them.

I think all of your questions fall into three areas: (1) how did we get here; (2) what’s coming; and (3) what can I do to prepare myself and my family.

Consider this email as my answer to your first question, “how did we get here?”. I’ll be sending you 2 more emails answering your other two questions. Since there’s a lot of misinformation out there I will document each of the facts in my emails so you know where I pulled the information from and where you can go to read and learn more.

*** end quote ***

A well-reasoned well-documented apolitical (there’s a lot of blame to go around!) piece. Clearly, there are a lot of people who deserve some tar and feathers. Clearly, it ain’t going to change anytime soon. Clearly, not only will NEITHER prez candidate be ABLE to DO anything about it. So what’s some one to do. (1) Get rid of incumbent politicians. Good start. (2) DownsizeDC dot org to slow them down and put them under a microscope. (3) Get ready for a “japan decade” of low growth tight times and look at the stagflation of the Carter years. Morose, yes. Realistic, yes. We need to summon up the Dead Old White Guys for government reform, the courage to start making hard political choices, and good old American ingenuity. We have to THINK our way out of this mess. And, “thinking” is not Washington’s strong suit. Spending is. We have to follow the lead of Andrew Jackson and kill the FED. It’s the root of all evil in that the inflation tax allows COngress to spend money it doesn’t get from taxes. We need them to run an honest set of books. You want a war, pay for it. You want welfare, pay for it. You want spending, where is the tax to cover it. Painful, yes. Necessary, yes. Unavoidable, yes.

GAMBLING: Playing in a ‘tight’ Indian casino

Tuesday, September 9, 2008

During our recent traipse around the countryside (NJ – Hickory – Jax – Cherokee – NJ), we happend to linger at an Indian Casino. I can attest that the ‘house’ was the only one that one in this visit. White men got scalped! Hence, I am revising my thinking about how to play in these.

We did well when we played big in the extremes of denomination (i.e., penny and dollar); in the middle (i.e., nickels and quarters) we had very little winnings.

On Poker, (my initial foray with my hand-written cheat sheet form the inet) I KNOW that you are supposed to hold “a low pair” as the about the sixth place on the list. In my play, I NEVER improved on a low pair. I played a lot of hands. I should have kept a stroke count, but I KNOW I never drew out to trips, two pair, or four. NEVER! I don’t know what the stats are, but NEVER! ZERO, nada, zilch. Either I was the unluckiest bettor known to man. Or those machines were rigged.

I did note that the pay tables on some of the slots were biased against the player (Three red sevens play the same as three any sevens.) And why can’t one take pictures in a casino?

Afraid some one might gather evidence?

RANT: ‘sassy’ – the toy industry’s euphemism for sexy

Monday, July 14, 2008

Spoilt Bratz
12:01am GMT 28/01/2007

*** begin quote ***

What Bratz dolls are both contributing to and feeding on is a culture in which girls play at being ‘sassy’ – the toy industry’s euphemism for sexy – and discard traditional toys at a younger age.

Toy marketers now invoke a phenomenon called KGOY – kids getting older younger – and talk about it as though it were a fact of life over which they have no control, rather than one which they have largely created.

Scothon says, ‘Kids are exposed to more things at earlier ages. Their scope of reference is wider. Their exposure to media is greater.’ Larian tells me, ‘Little girls are much more sophisticated now than they used to be.’

*** end quote ***

Sadly noted.

Maybe I’m just an old fart — I use the descriptor FOWG often — but I see little girls dressed like sluts.

Sorry, it’s neither cute nor attractive. But then, I’m a FOWG!

Parents should be ashamed at what they have allowed to happen.

Sigh!

imho,
a FOWG

RANT: If wishes were horses … …

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

http://www.lewrockwell.com/rockwell/grand-theft-society.html

Grand Theft Society
by Llewellyn H. Rockwell, Jr.

*** begin quote ***

A core problem with government is that its managers believe that all reality will conform to their wishes if they issue the right orders, pass the right laws, and put the right people in charge. Reality resists this simple-minded approach …

*** end quote ***

(1) Reality is; laws are wishes.

(2) If everyone agreeed that your ‘great idea’ was a ‘great idea’, why do you need the guns of gooferment to force folks to comply?

(3) Even if your ‘great idea’ is passed into law — with credit to Harry Browne — it will be implemented and enforced with a different understanding and agenda.

(4) Gooferment is aggressive force that not only MAKES me doing something regardless of how I feel about the matter. It forces me to PAY for things that I am morally (religiously) opposed to. Cite the Amish and to a lesser extent the Quakers. And, it forces me to PAY for force being APPLIED to you.
